Should I encourage Rebecca to begin her class presentation of her brochure by singing "Bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-Bahrain"?

It has a some humor, which is bound to be a negative, unless the teacher has a little wit. I didn't know many that did in my day. Or that let on that they did.
Rebecca might need to practice her dad's delivery, though.

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at February 1, 2006 01:13 PMSeriously considering the question it all comes down to one practical issue: can she hit the high notes? Just not a Beach Boys tune without that voice.
Posted by: Kenny at February 1, 2006 01:24 PMWell, brevity being the soul of wit, I think she'd do well just to sing that first line, then bow and exit.

Or at least get through the "You got me rockin' and a rollin' Rockin' and a reelin' Barbara Ann" part.

On the other hand, that might be a welcome respite...
